[ Story ]

Thus...the tale begin...

[Scene 02 - "Passageway"]

Begins with a close-up shot of a door in the very center core of the lab,

[zooms in very closely]

A sign says,

"Earth Bontanical Labratory Magi Experiment #5 -- Authorized personnels only"

Eek! Cries the door as it is open in the absolute silence of the pretty abandoned lab. Even though it is newly painted white, the color gives a lonely, eerie feeling about the place.

"Miss, please place your hand here."

"I know the routine,"
said the girl who opened the door. She was white, very white like fresh fallen snow. Her fiery eyes were cold, but not unfeeling. Almost like blank. She was dressed up like a blue doll, a perfect doll. Not like a Barbie, but like one of those 18th century English dolls. The dahlia on her head, the jewels on her face, the lacy dress, the jet black hair, the long lashes and the silver jewellery made her look unreal.

"Hm! Are you making fun of my computer programming again? It is set this way so it have to say this phrase everytime you come in!"
A man with quite strong build said with a joking tone to his voice. The name tag of his shirt read, 'Kujaku' ...

"I thought it has AI."

"It does, but I just turned it off because it was wasting my electricity. You know it's pretty scarce around areas like where we are. I don't not which doofus built such a thing here."
The man called Kujaku replied, with fake sobbing sounds.

"Just let me in."

"So anxious to see your papa? You are just like a second Ashura *smiles*."

Tap tap tap, the keyboard went. beep beep beep, the computer went into harmonization with the tapping. A
loud beep became the finale of the song.

"There you go! Have a nice day! By the way, could I have a donut after? Man, am I hungry!"

"Sure. If Papa said I could."

"Couldn't you make a decision yourself??"

The girl didn't reply and shut a silver door that had appeared after the beep. As soon as she shut the door, it disappeared with her.

"What's wrong with that girl?" Kujaku said as he turned into a large raven... He read the screen...

"L'Hystérie, entrance permitted... Who cares! I'll just get a donut myself. Maybe I can get some sprinkles and chocolate too. She never adds any on mine. *groans*"

And he flew out of the white door. Leaving the computer working silently.

[zooms out from the computer then fades]

[Scene 02 ends]

[Scene 03 - "Father" begins]

"Papa, I've brought you some breakfast! It's a sunny side up, to cheer you. And and, some ham, and a glass of OJ. Oh and some cereal if you don't like eggs and ham..." The girl, L'Hystérie, said cheerfully. She only used that tone fo voice with 'Papa'.

"Thanks, L'Hystérie, I loved the eggs... but I just don't have the appetite for it now..."
'Papa' replied. He was lying on his bed peacefully. There were so many plugs connected to him you can never count them all. 'Papa' had a snowy-white face, just like his 'daughter', L'Hystérie, but with golden hair that fell back like sunlight. His eyes were half-opened but you can see the beautiful golden pupils inside that matches his hair. A white and light violet kimono was worn to match his looks.

"You never finish any of your food... you always use that excuse... is my cooking that BAD?"

"No, I didn't meant it that way. Papa'll make it up to you. How about a trip into the dreams?"

"Er... no... I still have some chores to do. All I ask is that you finish your breakfast, that's all. I'll go another day, fair deal?"

"Whatever you say, Rie-chan."

A smile returned to L'Hystérie's face. "Arigaito Kakyou-papa! You are always the nicest to me!" She gave Kakyou the sweetest smile and left with a skip. "I'll come back when I'm done the chores," she said before she entered the silver door to go back.

"Then we'll go seek a dream."

"Um!" she answered.

...

"That kiddo is so weird ain't she?" Kujaku asked.

[Scene 03 ends]

[Begin Scene 04: Arrival]
 
Begins with a group of three people standing in front of the lab building. [Picture focuses on the girl with light brown hair]
 
"Touya-kun, do you think they're home?"
 
"How should I know? Why don't you knock and find out?"
 
Nakuru turns toward the door and lifts a hand to knock on it, but a girl with maroon hair ( which had about 25 braids in it) and green eyes just opens the door.
 
"We're in!!" the maroon haired girl said as she walked into the building.
 
"Chikyuu, you can't just barge in there!" Nakuru said as she followed her companion.
 
"Yeah, that's Nakuru's job." Touya mumbled as he followed the two girls. *Why did I ever agree to go on a trip with them? What insane thing made me do this?...*
 
"Touya! What are you thinking?" Nakuru said.
 
"I was thinking, how in the world did I get into this mess. And why did I get stuck with you." Touya narrowed his eyes and gave her and evil smile.
 
Nakuru returned his glare and said, "Cause, you needed the credits in class remember? Besides, I volunteered to go with you. So don't complain."
 
"I'm not complaining!!" Touya yelled.
 
"Will you guys shut up! You'll get us caught. Who knows what *they're* doing in here." Chikyuu said, as she walked up the stairs. " And we need to get this project over with. It's better if we get it done now then later. So, are you guys coming or not?"
 
" We're coming! Just hold on a sec!" Nakuru yelled as she grabbed her backpack. She opened it slightly and whispered, " How are you feeling? Once we find a room you can come out."
 
"And what do you think you're talking to?" Touya said as he peered over her shoulder.
 
"Why, I'm talking to Sup...er, uh nothing. That's it! Now let's follow Chikyuu!!"
 
"Why do I even bother..." Touya said as he followed the bouncy girl upstairs.
 
[End scene 04]

[From scene 1]
Kamui shook his head "aren't they the weidest couple in the world?"

Yin Yue nodded in agreement, "I know what you mean. They don't involve in 'love' yet," she
observed, "but they are the closest male-female here."

Kamui and Yin Yue both stood up and edge away from the slight-opened door of the room
where Subaru and Sherry were.

"Better leave those two, besides, I promise Kujaku I meet him in the Library Lab," said
Yin Yue.

"Ok, see you at dinner time."

"Ja'"

[Scene 05]

"That kiddo is so weird ain't she?" Kujaku asked.

"Un-hm... she's my kid though. Gotta take care of her. I know there's something missing in my dreamgazing. Something about her in which I can't predict." Kakyou replied. "Kujaku, aren't you ...late?"

"For what?"

"Meeting with Yin-Yue."

"Oh yeah!!" Kujaku said in a pretty frantic state. "And my donut with chocolate and sprinkles!!"

"The same Kujaku I've always known." whispered Kakyou under his breath.

"Before I leave, You-chan, the lab is expecting some people coming to join us."

"People?"

"Yah. Some people called Nakuru or whatever, and Touya, is it? I don't remember. I have such a bad memory. They might be visiting you."

"Turn the security computer so that they can't come in. It's not the time for them to see me...yet."

"Sure whatever. You are going 'dream'-ing with the kiddo right?"

Kakyou nods slowly.

"But after I get my donut."

"She already brought one."

"She? How come she's so nice all of a sudden?"

"She knows you. She knows you love donuts with chocolate and sprinkles. See? She even put extra many sprinkles on. Did I tell you that she have the ability to understand people's inside feelings?"

"Hey thanks You-chan! I mean... Rie-chan! *smiles* I'll set the security right away. Then... I'll sleep!"

"How about Yin-Yue? In the library lab?"

"Ooops. I thought I should catch a nap before that... Bye now, You-chan!" Kujaku turns into a raven as he said those words. He flown through the exit which will lead him directly to the security computer's mainframe.

"So easy to go anywhere in the 'Magi#5' dimension. Too bad it is not vice versa because of all the security stuff... but there are two 'holes' in the supposed-to-be perfect dimension. The main entrance and the one right outside the passageway."

Tap tap tap went the keyboard.

"Ta-da! Off to see Yin-Yue. Hey Rie-chan is not that bad of a baker. This donuts are G-O-O-D!"

[End of Scene 05]

[Scene 6]

Sign 'Computer Lab. Obeservation Room'

"GAHHHH!! I'm so bored, browsing on the wired isn't much interesting like before..." muttured Kamui, "I have much more fun _playing_ with Sherry and Yin. Why do Yin Yue have to be with that lame guy anyway? And She-chan spends more time with Kujaku than me...uh, I mean us." Kamui paused, "What am I saying? I start talking to my self again *groans*"

The alarm flared.

"Huh? Intruders?????" He switched the monitor. "Hey, this is interesting, maybe they can play with me." Kamui grinned. (In Kamui's language, _play_ means playing tricks)

He jumped off and ran to meet them.

[End of scene 6]

[Scene 7]

Yin Yue was just turned around the corner when a tall guy ran into her.

They fall to the ground, he was on top of her.

*groans* "This is not my lucky day," said the girl. Yin Yue focused her eyes and saw a pair of purple eyes and his black raven hair fell on her face.

Then she realized, his hand was on..uhm...well, the writer gives the readers a chance to guess.

"KYAAAAA!!!!" she shriek, "PERVERT!!!" and slapped the poor guy.

[End of scene 7]

[Scene 08]
 
Nakuru skipped along the long hallway humming to herself.  "Lalala... To-ya-kun, Chikyuu, where exactly are we going? Dum de dum dum dumm..."
 
"I don't know, Chikyuu, do you remember what sensei said to do once we got here? And DON'T call me To-ya!!"
 
"I think he said we'd be greeted at the front door, but well we walked in ourselves in, so that plan was totally screwed up. And stop bickering you two!"
 
"Lala...lala...lala...eh?" Nakuru paused her gleeful frolic.
 
"What now Nakuru?"Touya said as he stopped walking.
 
"Di...did you hear something?"
 
"No, what did it sound like Nakuru?" Chikyuu said as she put a hand on Nakuru's shoulder.
 
"Like someone walking up behing us, or something like that."
 
"It was probaly something you concocted in that odd mind of your's. Let's go." Touya said as he started to walk ahead of the girls.
 
" Maybe he was right... To-ya wha..." Nakuru looked around the hallway, but he was nowhere to be found. "To-ya?"
 
Chikyuu looked around, "Touya! Where did you go?!"
 
*silence*
 
Chikyuu and Nakuru looked at each other and yelled, "TOUYA!!!!!"
 
[ End of Scene 08 ]

[Scene 9]

"HOHOHOHO" Kamui snikered, "one down two more to go."

Beside him, Touya is *tied * up side down and his mouth stuffed with socks, he was mumbling about 'who' 'what' 'why' etc, but 've been ignored by Kamui.

Kamui thought, "This is fun too, it has been a while since someone broke in and taste my trap doors." He laughed insanely.

And continue observing the other two in a secret hide out.

Nakuru and chikyuu continue walking...

[End of ecene 9]

[Scene 10]
 
Chikyuu walked slightly ahead of a worried and frightened Nakuru. "Touya, Where are you!!! Well, he's gotta be somewhere."
 
Nakuru jumped, "Tooo-yaaaa!! C'mon this isn't funny any more!"
 
Another creak was heard as the girls turned around the corner. "Hmmm...," Chikyuu said as she looked at the wall next to her, " There's something strange about thi..." She never finished her sentence because as soon as she touched to wall a HUGE chain flew out and grabbed her.
 
"Chikyuu!!!!" Nakuru yelled as her partner disapeared into the wall. "There's only one thing to do! Suppi!!" Nakuru opened her bag and let the small, black, cat-like creature out. "Hey Suppi! How was the bag?"
 
"Don't ever think of putting me in that thing again! I almost sufficated! Now what's wrong?"
 
"To-ya and that other girl have dissapeared. And um... I'm scared."
 
"Of what?"
 
"I don't want to disapear!!" *sniffle*
 
Spinel shook it's head and sighed. "Do you have any idea where they have gone?"
 
Nakuru rapidly shook her head.
 
'This is going to be a long night...'

[End of scene 10]

[scene 11]

"My donut, my donut!!" Kujaku cries. Poor him. "It has to land on this girl's..."

"ARGG!!! You stupid guy!!! Your donuts ruin my dress, and its the most expensive one
too." Yin Yue glared on him," OKAY! Kujaku, choose 1. Double Mallet or 2. My beautiful
Deathsycthe????"

Before Kujaku could answer, they heard troubling noise from the living room.

"NOw what??" said Yin Yue

[scene 11 ends]

[scene 12 begins]

"Hm? How come there's somebody is in the torture chamber? I thought it was abandoned" thought L'Hystérie. "Let me go peek."

L'Hystérie open the door a tiny bit, enough for her to see.

"Isn't that Kamui-san? Who are those people with the chains? Kamui-san is probably _playing_ again... Wait, the girl with the maroon hair is yelling something, can't hear... But Papa said I ain't suppose to
bother Kamui-san when he is _playing_... He gets very pissed off..."

L'Hystérie flashed her long eyelashes. "It's just better to ignore." And she left her place to continue herchores.

Narrator: That poor maroon-hair girl and the black-hair guy. What will happen to them?

[scene 12 ends]

[Scene 13]
 
While Touya and Chikyuu were tied up, Nakuru and Spinel were wandering the building looking for the lost souls.
 
"Suppi, I'm bored! Can't we just leave? I mean I'd be safe, but I'd also lose To-ya. Shoot! Life's not fair! Eh? Suppi? What is it?"
 
The cute, little Spinel had found something. "Do you see that imprint on the wall?"
 
"No."
 
"Anyway, there's an imprint right there. Now that's probably what triggered the trap for Chikyuu. The same probably goes for Touya. Now Nakuru, I want you to be careful. There are a lot of traps... NAKURU!!"
 
"Suppi, you talk way too much, I'll just go ahead and look for them myself." With that Nakuru started to walk away from Spinel. 
 
"Nakuru, wait up!"
 
A soon as he rounded the corner Nakuru was gone. "Oh great! Now Nakuru's gone."
 
"Suppi!"
 
"Eh?" Spinel flew closer towards the voice and found out that Nakuru hadn't been trapped, but found something actually useful. "What is it?"
 
"I think I see someone in there."
 
"Really? Let me see." Spinel peered through the small window and saw a black haired boy, or man, he couldn't tell from the back of his head.
 
"Maybe he knows where To-ya and Chikyuu are."
 
[Scene 13 ends] [Scene 14 starts]
 
Screen shows Chikyuu and Touya sitting tie up next to each other.
 
"I SAID WE AREN'T TRESPASSING!! WE ARE JUST VISITING!! WE EVEN GOT PERMISSION FROM OUR SENSEI FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!"
 
'For a girl tied up, Chikyuu sure has a big mouth...' Touya thought as he tasted socks in his mouth. 'These things better be clean or I'll..." Touya stopped and saw two empty eyes starring into the darkened room. "Mmmf...mmmfffff." 'Damn! Stupid socks!!! Why don't you just go away!!'
 
"Eh? Touya what's wrong?"
 
Touya shook his head (trying to tell her to look toward the door).
 
"Ok. I SAID LET US OUT!!!"
 
'Why O why did I agree to this.'  Touya thought as he started to bang his head on the wall.
 
[Scene 14 ends] 

[Scene 15]

The room was very dark, the writer doen't know what room this is.

Kamui opened the door, one hand he was carrying Nakuru the other carrying Spinel, "can you two stay put??? And be quiet please, you're disturbing the place." He placed the two besides Chikyuu and Touya.

"Now let me see, here we got four un-identify creatures. Two lovely gals and a man, plus the talking cat."

He walked around the room and pulled a large pot. "You four will make a great treat for me." He turned to look them evily as he played with his shinken. The four were already sweating.

Kamui played the shinken around Touya and began to _peal_ him off, start with his shirt... he closed their distant by bending down and moved close to Touya, VERY close. "You look yummy" (guess Fuuma is a bad influence after all =P)

Then...

The lights went on,

"What the hell..."

And a rock landed on him.

"BAKA!!" cried Yin Yue in full rage.

"Ow, what did you do that for?" Kamui stood up, luckily in one piece, and glared on Yin Yue.

"They are Subaru's guess, you IDIOT!!" said Yin Yue, pointing to the tied four people.

"Gee...I don't know that."

"That's because you slept when he said it over dinner last night." Yin Yue poked his head.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry." Kamui then un-tie them.

The door shift to open again, "Excuse me, is my guess had arrive?" asked Subaru, who came, with Sherry tailing him.

"Yes, Subaru-kun, they are here, "answered Yin Yue.

"Good." Subaru glanced on Kujaku, "Kujaku-san, can you call Rie-san and Kakyou-san?"

No answer.

Errr....what was wrong with Kujaku? ^^;;;;

[End of scene 15]

[Scene16]

Nakuru looked up at the new, but weird people in front of her. There were two guys and a woman. And we were guests? She then looked at Touya and yelled to the guy with the purple eyes. "What do you think you were doing to MY To-ya?!" Nakuru caused the whole room to sweatdrop as she ran to Touya.

"I'm not yours!! And I never will be!! Go away!!"

*More sweatdrops*

Chikyuu turned to the two, and with fire in her eyes she yelled, "Will you two *lovebirds* SHUT UP!!!! Man, all I hear you two is blah blah blah blah blah... Will this ever end?"

Nakuru and Touya looked at each other with blank faces, then smiled an evil smile when they looked at Chikyuu. "You called us lovebirds? Ha!" Touya said as he walked closer towards Chikyuu.

Nakuru walked behind him with her hand in his as said "We'll show you lovebirds." She then wrapped her arms around Touya's neck a hung there for a little while.

"You guys are so cute together!!!" said Chikyuu with a huge smile. That was it. They started yelling at each other again.

Nakuru suddenly stopped yelling and said," Suppi!! Suppi!! Where are you?"

Just then the little black animal came out of nowhere and gave Nakuru an evil eye.

"Suppi! You're alright!!" Nakuru hugged the small creature to death and then looked at the young man with green eyes. Do you have any food around here?"

"Suppi! You're alright!!" Nakuru hugged the small creature to death and then looked at the young man with green eyes. Do you have any food around here?"

"Yes, Yin Yue will get you some beverages, right Yue-chan?" said Subaru as he glanced on Yin Yue.

"Sure, be right back." Then Yin Yue disappeared ASAP.

"Now if you please be seated? There's a matter to discuss, and I believe you were wondering why did I invite you here."

They sit.

Subaru truned to see his other..er...girl, and sweat drop. Sherry was hangin around Kujaku's neck, swinging around. "Sherry! Get down from there." *I thought Kujaku went off to get Kakyou-san and Rie-san, guess not.*

"Should I? I still want to plaayyyy with Kujaku-saannnnn," Sherry swing higher.

*Sighed* "can you just get down from _there_ and get Kakyou-san and Rie-san here? Onegai?"

Sherry paused a minute." Okay." Then she too, disappeared.

Subaru turned to his guess, "we have to wait for the others to come."

"Who are they? And are they like that guy over there?" said Touya with a nasty glance over toward the purple eyed young man.

"Yeah, I don't want to be without my To-ya again!!" said Nakuru smiling sweetly at Touya then back at Subaru. 'That new green-eyed guy IS cute...' Thought Nakuru as she rested her head on her fists. 'Too many cuties!!! I want them all!'

"Nakuru...Nakuru... *BAM* Wake up!"

"Gyaa!! Chikyuu, what did you do that for?"

"You spaced out. And I think our 'friends have arrived."

"I've brought Rie-chan over but not Kakyou. He's in the screen though. Baru-chan, I hope you understand that Kakyou can't get out of his
little room." Kujaku said.

A man with green eyes nodded.

"Can we begin now? I've connected the network and Kakyou should appear at the screen once you switch the switch on." Rie-chan asked...

"ahem, yes, let's begin," said Subaru. "As you all know some of you gathered here are _not_ ordinary person, you know magic and sorcery, plus you can change into animal form without any trouble or complication. My friends and I have been studying about this since 2 years ago before the first group arrive, I.e Kakyou and co. Now that you are all here, I respect you may stay and help me with this experiment."

"Um, what's in it for us?" said Touya while making his best betting glare.

"Yeah, what do you mean anyway?" said Nakuru as her eyes gazed into the green eyes that were in front of her.

"Before I answer that, tell me what's you wish, "said Subaru.

"My wish?" Nakuru looked toward Touya, then Chikyuu. "What do you mean? My life long dream? Or what I secretly desire? (Made a quick glance toward Touya)"

"Yeah, explain." Said Chikyuu.

"I think he means what do you want in return. We all said what do we get. And he's asking." Touya said with in-a-matter-of-fact state.

"Oh, I don't know. How about you, Chikyuu? To-ya?"

"Dunno, Touya?"

"What I really want right now is for Nakuru to stop calling me To-ya!!"

"What do you mean? You love it when I call you that!"

"WHAT?! I never said anything like that!"

"Liar!!"

"I am not!"

"Are too!"

"AM NOT"

"ARE TOO!!"

Chikyuu just stood there and turned to the green eyed man. "Uh... we'll get back to you on that. But for now can you shut them up?"

"Gladly!!" Sherry appered from no where and _tied_ them up, and stuff their mouth with sock.

Subaru sweatdropped.

"Waw!! Where did you learn that technique?" asked Yin Yue, interested.

"Ohohohohoho, ask him." Sherry pointed Kamui.

"Honto? Cool!" cried Yin Yue again.

"Ahem, yes...that was my best trick ^^," state Kamui.

Subaru poked his head, "why do I surrounded with couple of lunatics?" He sighed heavely.

"Cause this is your _wish_ silly Omnyoji." Sherry purred at on his neck.

"Gyaahhhh! Don't do that She-chan!" Subaru's face turned red, how kawai!

Sherry giggled and began to nuzzle.

Everybody sweatdropped.

Yin Yue groaned, "somebody take her away from Subaru-kun."

"Youkai!" Kamui grabbed the young kitten (re-phrase: an annoying cub).

"But but but but but but butbut I still want to plaayyyy." Sherry whines.

Kamui gave her a cookie to shut her up, gladly accepted by Sherry.

Subaru turned to the others, "Well, until you decide to join or not, you may stay as long as you like."

Chikyuu glanced at the girl/kitten named Sherry. "Um, ok. Thanks. Do you have any rooms where we can stay? And how long should we stay here? I mean we are on a school feild trip. Gyaaaa!! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Chikyuu Mikare. And these two er... lively people are Nakuru Akizuki, and Touya Kinomoto."

Chikyuu went over and whispered into the Subaru's ear, "I think I'm the only sane one here, I mean in my group. (in a louder voice) Who are all of you anyways? I mean, if we are staying here, we should at least know each others names."

A few muffled voices came from the two tied up students.

"Oh, I think it'll be alright if you let them go now. I make sure they behave."

Yin Yue smiled abit. "Are you sure?* she giggled. "Anyway, my name is Yin Yue. The one eating a cake there is my phsycho friend, Sherry Shiina."

"I'm kamui." said the purple eyes, "and our host is Subaru Sumeragi."

"I don't ever want to be tied up again!!!" yelled Nakuru asv she straightened out her skirt. "Oh! And nice to meet you all!"

*Ahem* Spinel popped out of Nakuru's hair and floated over to Nakuru's shoulder. "My name is Spinel Sun."

"You can call him Suppi!!" added Nakuru.

"No you can't!! Where did you come up with Suppi anyway?"

"Dunno, but it's so kawaii!!"

Spinel sighed. He then looked at Touya's and Chikyuu's startled faces. "Don't look so surprised." He then flew into Touya's face. "At least you could have sensed my power."

*POUCE*

"Suppi behave yourself!" she gave a smile to Touya. "He just wants to read. He loves that. Hey, Kamui, Sherry, Yin, or Subbi-chan do you have anything interesting amd LONG for this little Suppi to read?"

"Subbi-chan?" Chikyuu said her eyes becoming suspicious.

"Hehe. Um yeah? Anyways, do you have a book to read?"

"Yes, it's in the library, Yin Yue will take you there, but right after dinner," said Subaru, "is everyone agree to have dinner by seven?"

"Yes, that would be great!" said Chikyuu as she fixed a braid that had gotten messed up.

"UH, I think I'll go with Suppi to the library, but yeah, I'll eat a little." said Nakuru.

"Sure." said Touya. (Who was still a little miffed about being tied up twice AND being called To-ya.) "So what's next?"

"You guys wanna go on a tour around the lab? *smiles*" Kujaku said friendly enough. "My name's Kujaku and I'm part of the 'original crew'... First ppl to come around here."

"Here's Rie-chan, otherwise know as..."

"L'Hystérie." L'Hystérie said herself. "That's preferred than Rie-chan..."

*Rie-chan is much sweeter though*

"Let's continue. At the screen is..." Kujaku flicks on a switch "Kakyou-san."

"Please to meet you."

Most people are amazed with Kakyou's extremely beautiful manners. You'll never know if Kakyou hates this person by the way he is acting towards them.

"Don't you all think that intros are dull? But me, Kujaku, is worth introducing about... *smiles again* You see, I'm the security officer around here, I love donuts... They'll be appreciated if you are planning to make any sort of sacrifice to me. Oh and.."

L'Hystérie stuffed a donut with frosted sugar into Kujaku's mouth to make him shut up. Kujaku's current state is pretty much like Sherry but in her case, it's a cookie.

This way of making Kujaku stop talking is not very effective... If he wanted to talk, he can finish a donut in one gulp. (wow) He tries to begin but thanks to Kakyou...

"Kujaku, could you lead the tour?"

"Anything boss! So, minna, let's go!"

[scene 16 ends with everybody leaving the room]

 

[scene 17]

Kujaku thinks, Should I turn left turn right? Right leads me directly to the kitchen, left takes a very long turn if I want to go to the kitchen. So, let's turn...

"How about taking Spinel here to the library? He/it can take a sneak peek at the collection of books?" L'Hystérie cut into Kujaku thoughts. Everybody seems to agree with the suggestion. Actually, all except...

Zut! (french, i just felt like typing french) Library could only be accessed if we turn left. Kujaku keeps on thinking. He tries to think of any place that will be interested by the crowd that is closer if you turn right. The people are starting to leave Kujaku...

"WAAIIITT!"

Kujaku rushes forward. L'Hystérie gave him a 'what are you doing' stare. Then she said,

"Since Kujaku knows the lab best, I'll leave him with the touring. I'll be in the kichen helping wih dinner if anybody needs me. Probably not. Anybody want to come with me?"

"I'll help!" said Chikyuu. As she ran toward L'Hystérie, with lightning spped. "As long as I can stay away from those two."

That remark was followed by Nakuru sticking her tongue out and Touya pleading "Please don't leave me with her!! I'll do anything!"

When Chikyuu turned to follow L'Hystérie she yelled out in a very cheerful voice, "BYE!! See you all at dinner!!"

After she was gone all eyes went back on Kujaku.

"Better get Suppi to the library, or he's gonna get miffed!!" said Nakuru in a demanding tone. "And you don't want to see him when he's miffed!!"

"Ah sure, " Yui then carried the little cat (gomen Spi-chan =P) to the other room for browsing some books, and some wonders off.

Subaru glanced on both Kakyou and Touya, "Can I have a word with you two?"

"Uh, sure..." said Touya as if he had nothing better to do.

Kakyou gives his famous nods, "What is it, Subaru-san?"

"Today we are going to have another guess, her name is Rilla, I don't know if she's alone or with her friends. Please welcome her. I will be busy for the rest of the night. If there's anything you would like to ask, you may ask either Yin Yue or She-chan." Subaru bowed, "thank you."

"No prob. Anyway she'll hopefully keep Nakuru busy." said Touya as he glared a the curious Nakuru. (She was looking at the wall for all he knew!)

"Glad to be of assistance..." said Kakyou.

[Scene 18]

"WAIIII!! We're going to have a party tonight!!!! I'm sooooo happy!!!" cried Sherry in delight.

"Ne ne ne, nee-chan! This time I won't loose the fight!" Kamui smirked from the end of the table.

Sherry smirked back, "Try me! You lost one whole chicken to me last night!"

"Hah! You won't have a chance tonight!"

"You two, can you BEHAVE??? We have guesses for God sake!" said Yin Yue.

"But nee-chan! Kamui-chan is so cruel!"

"I'm not!"

"You to!"

"'am not!!"

Yin Yue sighed, they would never learn.

A knocked on the door.

"Comming," said Subaru.

A young girl who was wearing a chinese cloths entered.

"Anata wa?" asked Subaru.

The girl looked at Subaru and began to speak in Chinese, "Shemme? (What did you say?) Oh! Dui bu qi! (Sorry) My Japanese not good at all. I am Rilla Lee Jing Mei, you can call me Mei or Rilla. I just transferred to this laborotory... This is..." she consulted a piece of paper, "...the CLAMP laborotory? Shi bu shi (is it or isn't it?)"

Rilla continued, "Subaru she shui? (Who is Subaru?) They call me see him."

[End Scene 18]

[Scene 19]

Nakuru sniffed the air... "FOOD!!! You guys we're missing dinner!"

Touya turned around and looked at her, "I though you said you weren't that hungry?"

"Uh, well. I be deprived of delicious smelling food! Let's get Suppi and go!!"

"You guys ready to go?" Touya said as he turned around to the group he was previously talking to.

[End Scene 19]

[Scene 20]

Rilla clutched her sling bag tightly, "You are Subaru, Sir?". Before Subaru could reply, she passed a piece of paper to him, "My last work place tell me give this to you and get a job here. I was transferred here...yesterday... from my last lab and they tell me this place have plenty of open slots. I am scientist!" She then took out a small phrase book from her sling bag and started leafing through it, looking for relavant words she could say...

Subaru stood up, "Ah yes, Boku wa Subaru desu. And you are?"

"Waiiii waiiiii, new girl!" Sherry cried out. She leaped of and landed in front of Rilla, "Atashi wa Sherry desu! Please to meet you, Sherry-chan LIKES new girl. Sherry-chan hopes new girl would like to play with Sherry-chan." She looked into Rilla's eyes more deeply and smiled, "you are not ordinary, are you? Sherry-chan knows it!"

Kamui recognized the girl in the instant, "Ah! Rilla moi moi?"

Yin Yue glanced to Kamui, "you know her?"

"Kinda." Kamui gave her a short replay and blushed a bit.

"OOOhh! Kamui's old girlfriend ne!!!" Kujaku chirped in after he realized he had been left behind at the spot where they were touring and rushes to the door where he heard noises and commotion. "Lalala,
look he's blushing!! Kamui and the-new-girl sitting under a trrreee, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!!!"

Before he can continue with his _romantic_ little song, L'hysterie (too lazy to type the accent) shut him up with a "Your dinner's getting cold!!" . She knew it is not very nice after you mess with Kamui and Kakyou knew it too. It's just Kujaku who will never grows up. (I mean it's _maybe_ ok if Yin and Sherry did this, because Kamui liked them... I don't really know about Kujaku...)

"GROW up, Kujaku-san," Kakyou said yet demanding but very polite.

"Hey hey, it's just fun. A joke."

"Anata wa know that Kamui can't take jokes? He might play pranks/jokes on people, but he himself can't."

"Gomenesai Kakyou-san!! I didn't know so much!!" he yelled with a _little_ bit of sacarsm as he raced down the hallway to be the first one in the dining room.

Kakyou sighs at the stupidity of his dear friend. He turned his head from the direction where Kujaku had went and faced Rilla,

"Do you want to have the rest of the dinner with us, Rilla-san? Maybe we'll do another intro from there."

"I would love to but I don't have anything I have cooked to bring!" Rilla exclaimed.

"Actuallyyyyyy, she's not my girlfriend. Right Rilla-chan?" Kamui smiled a bit. "And don't worry I'm not mad because there's no point."

"GIRLFRIEND? TO THE LIKES OF YOU? DREAM ON! Hai zai meng jian (You are still dreaming idiot.)" Rilla glared at him. "Stupid idiot."

"welll, I said your not my girfriend, why are you so angry anyway??" Kamui snorted, "I only said I know you."

"Well then, can you explain _who_ she is?" asked Yin Yue with demanding voice.

Kamui glanced at Rilla a bit.

Rilla glared back at him in loathing and disgust.

Kamui sighed, *This is going to be a hell of a night.*

"Aahhh, you smells like Kamui," Sherry cried out, "then you you must be..."

"She's a wolf like me," said Kamui simply.

"HONTO??? waiii sugoiiiii." Sherry cried out again."Is she a thief too like you?"

"Well...." Kamui just look at Rilla.

"I have no wish to be a thief like this stupid half blooded freak of nature. I am a scientist and I suggest it STAY that way. I'm not about to return to the circus." Rilla hissed through clenched teeth. "All the same, I guess you don't understand these things."

"Well, you work hard in the right path, different from me who walked in the wrong one. You have no idea, Rilla-chan. But..." Kamui laughed, "You changed into an old hag *lol*" He said kiddingly.

Rilla glared at Kamui, "I would have slapped you just now but I didn't want to dirty my hands with the likes of you. You disgusting fei wu (Piece of trash)"

Kamui glared at her.

"Anyway, anyplace that I can help in? I must help with SOMETHING!" Rilla smiled suddenly, ignoring Kamui.

Chikyuu stepped through the doors of the kitchen with a big bowl in her hands. (Is that connected to the dining room?) She looked at the new girl and sighed. She walked back into the kitchen and jumped when she heard a loud, obnoxious voice. "WAI!!!"

*SPLAT*

"Nakuru..." Chikyuu grumbled as she turned to go back out of the door.

[End of scene 20]

[Scene 21]

Nakuru had just run into the dining room when she saw the new girl saying that she want to help someone. 'This offer is too good to be true!' she though as Nakuru ran up to her. She waved and said politely, "Hi!! My name's Nakuru! I hear you want to help someone, well, you can help me by uh... making To-ya fall in love with me! How's that? It would really help me a..."

*Thud*

Nakuru was cut short by Chikyuu falling next to her. "Chikyuu?! What's wrong?" Nakuru knelt by the fallen girl, she saw that the girl's eyes were shut. "Guess she's out cold..." Nakuru then turned back to the new girl. "So anyway, how about helping me?"

Rilla could only sit there sweatdripping.

"Love should be earned truthfully, Nakuru, not with little tricks that is inside your head!! You little idiot. Though you are our guest but I don't really care about your love business. Do I??" Kujaku steps into the little conversation. (sorry baert-san, you might have not intended it htat way but I thought this might be a little interesting) Kujaku twists his head to face Rilla instead of Nakuru.

"Hey I heard Chinese food was really good!! Could you cook me any?? Do you know how to make chop suey?? Or fortune cookies? Or sweet and sour pork??" (these foods tends to be the favourites of people eating Chinese food the first time)

"How about Black pepper chicken. I'm sure you haven't tasted that before,
judging from the dishes you just..." Rilla began...

Poor Rilla gets dragged off to the kitchen to make some Chinese dessert specialties by Kujaku. So much for Nakuru's little plan... or maybe not...

[scene 21 ends]

[scene 22]

-in the kitchen-

"Hmm... let see what do we have to make those 'dragon beard candy'..."

"So anyway, how about helping me?"

"No, I'm sorry, I am not an expert and..." Rilla whipped out this awful black stuff, "This is what happened to my last try at it."

Rilla giggled, "but I ca make most dishes and snacks. Specialities like Dragon's beard needs a lot of training if you want to produce it. I'm so sorry. But here is the sauce for sweet and sour pork. No, don't cut that, cut it like this" rilla grabs the knife and chops carefully, "There."

Rilla could only sit there sweatdripping.

"Love should be earned truthfully, Nakuru, not with little tricks that is inside your head!! You little idiot. Though you are our guest but I don't really care about your love business. Do I??" Kujaku steps into the little conversation. (sorry baert-san, you might have not intended it htat way but I thought this might be a little interesting) Kujaku twists his head to face Rilla instead of Nakuru.

"Hey I heard Chinese food was really good!! Could you cook me any?? Do you know how to make chop suey?? Or fortune cookies? Or sweet and sour pork??" (these foods tends to be the favourites of people eating Chinese food the first time)

"How about Black pepper chicken. I'm sure you haven't tasted that before, judging from the dishes you just..." Rilla began...

Poor Rilla gets dragged off to the kitchen to make some Chinese dessert specialties by Kujaku. So much for Nakuru's little plan... or maybe not...

(In the dining room)

Nakuru was dumbfounded. She blinked twice and made up her mind. She ran into the kitchen and saw Kujaku there making the new girl cook for everyone. "Excuse me, but I was talking to her!! But since I'm in here, I'll help cook." (NOOO!! She couldn't cook if it meant life or death!! Toshiya-san, it's ok!! Made it interesting!!) Nakuru went on her merry way and pulled some pots from the cupboards. "Ok, where do I start?"

*She has a plan up her sleeve!^^

"Well, miss, you should start by heating up this sauce, make usre it isn't too hot, here" Rilla gave her a large pan and a bowl of sauce.

Nakuru looked at the pan, "Kami-sama. I wish Eriol was here, now HE's a cook." she added with a nod. As the sauce was handed to her she started to poke her finger in it. Then she put the saucy finger in her mouth, " Wai! That's so good!!" Instead of actually making the meals, why don't I just take this bowl for my own amusement!" Nakuru then went into her 'happy world', meaning she was dreaming about 'her' To-ya.

[Scene22 ends]

[Scene 23 begins]

'Chikyuu has been unconscious for who knows how long' thought Touya as he starred at the fallen girl. "Hey, can anybody put her in a room or something, and maybe get her a new change of clothes?"

"I think there's an empty guest room right there outisde in the other wing. Maybe Touya-san could at least get Chikyuu-san to that room? She's too heavy for me." L'hysterie tugs at Touya's shirt while pointing outside a window. A building stood there.

"You just have to carry her into the building," L'hysterie talked while she drew down a quick floor plan of the building, "Here, room 427836. First you turn right then left then walk straight then right right... Oh bother, I'll just write it down. You get her there now, s'il vous plait (please). I have to go get her some fresh clothes."

And she left the dining room with a sprint to the laundry, leaving Touya behind with Chikyuu, a map of the building outside and some directions in neat printing.

After a while, Rilla appeared with the food she had cooked, "Thanks to this kind young lady, i can cook this dish of black pepper chicken AND sweet and sour pork. Here!" She set the food on the table.

Touya glanced at the new girl, his face confused. Then he shook his head and remembered that he was told the the new girl would come. "What's this about Nakuru helping?" he said as he stepped over Chikyuu's unconscious body. (We really need to get her in a room)

Nakuru bounced out of the kitchen with glee and a bowl in her arms. It looked as if half of it's contents have been eaten. She skipped toward Touya and said," That's right To-ya!! I'm helping..." she glanced at the new girl and asked, "You never did tell me your name, what is it?"

"My name, is Li Jing-mei, you can call me 'mei' or 'Rilla', don't ask me where the 'Rilla' came from, if you want to know, you can ask the half-blooded freak (which refers to the other wolf - Becky)." Rilla said
calmly, "Forgive me, I don't quite know your name, Miss..."

"AH! My name Nakuru Akizuki! It's been nice meeting you! And this is my To-ya!"

"I'm not your To-ya!!!" Touya yelled at the genki girl.

Rilla looked at the bowl and sweatdripped, "Thank you for all that help. I'm sure everyone will love it."

"Really? I usually can't cook! Eriol does most of the cooking at home. I love his chocolates!! Whatever I make ends up.. well dead. Hey, wait a minute. You said something about a half-blooded freak, ne? Is that a good thing... or a bad one?

Touya turned from Nakuru and looked down at Chikyuu. 'Carry her?' his mind said in a whiney voice, 'but I'm too lazy! And all the way over to another wing!Ugh!'

He then bent over and tried to pick the girl up. 'Too heavy to carry all the way... Maybe Nakuru...'

"Hey Nakuru."

"Wha?"

"Can you help me bring Chikyuu to her room?"

Nakuru gave an evil eye,"What's in it for me?"

"I dunno, but I know what you'd like." he added with a charming smile. 'That'll get her to carry Chikyuu the whole way.'

Nakuru blushed and said to Rilla,"I'll talk and eat when I get back, k?" she turned back to Touya. "Ok, To-ya what do you want me to do?"

"Carry her to her bedroom. We first have to wait for L'hysterie to get back."

"Fine, you're coming with, right?"

"I think I have to, don't I?"

*nods* "Yup!"

Subaru spoke up, "Sumimasen, but that room has no bed. I will let Yin Yue go with you to prepare it."

Rilla just stood there muttering to herself and clenching her fists, thinking about whatshisname (Sorry! I forgot!- becky) the half-blooded freak...

Stepping in the kitchen, She-chan tapped on Rilla's shoulder, "gomen nasai, but you seems toubled with Kamui-chan." She gave her a ^^ eyes. "He wasn't like that all the time, if you hate his rude attitude. Actually he's kinda nice."

"Nice? Nice? Nice?!!" Rilla nearly ripped out She-chan's eyeballs. "That freak is an insult to the wolf race! Look at him! Look at his parentage and he calls himself a wolf! And a thief to boot! I would forgive him for his poor parentage but to be a THIEF? THAT IS AN INSULT TO ALL OF US! He is a disgrace to all of us."

There was a long and embarrasing pause, "I am sorry, forgive me for losing my temper while I am still a guest." Rilla said as she calmed down, "The reason is, he isn't totally wolf and I can't believe that he has dared to even call himself a wolf. He is a half-blooded freak of nature, his mother was a human and his father was a half-wolf... not that I blame the fellow, that isn't his fault. In fact, I pity him and I gave him a chance to prove himself to me... BUT what did he become? A thief... and to think I actually once worked with the idiot. Now, I merely despise him for bringing a disgrace to our race..."

"Anou, I think you got that mistake." Kamui has enough of her insult.

Rilla frowned and broke her chopsticks (she held them too tightly in her hand) "ARGH!! Na shi wo xin de kuai zi! (Those were my new chopsticks!) Anyway, why don't you eat some of this food?" she asked as she picked out a piece of black-pepper chicken to put on her bowl of rice...

"Don't try on me, girl." Kamui slammed his fist against the table, "Ever since our race broke apart seems like everybody gone into their on business. Don't your clan teach you _anything_? You're just a hot shot scientist, do you forgot about the ways of each clans? The wolf clan is divided into two, the _light_ and the _dark_. You should know better if one choose the dark he or she either an assassin or a thief."

"And you do remember that the side of light never associates itself with the side of the dark. Your father was part of the light clan. Why didn't you follow? You are a disgrace!" Rilla said as she chewed the chicken wing delicately, "And besides, by dining at the same table as you, I am still giving you half a chance."

"You're wrong! My father _was_ from the dark path! Besides, I-as a thief- have yet do something that will humilate the clan."

"Kamui-chan was right Rilla-san. Besides, not all thief are bad. _I_am a mohou thief my self." Sherry defended Kamui.

"I don't steal anything for money, but for a reason for only our clan members know." Kamui then went out the room mumbling 'I'm going to help Yin Yue'

Sherry looked at Rilla, "Gomen ne," she said apologetic-ly.

"It's okay. I should be the one who should be sorry, after all, I am a guest who didn't prepare anything to bring and lost my temper at the table. I thank you for your hospitality."

Subaru sighed, "okay lets in and then we can go to be. Tomorrow we have a new day. And I will need your help Rilla-san."

"What about meeee????" She-chan whines. "I want to help tooooo."

"Er....ok."

"Waiiiiii!!"

*Glomp*

"Gyaaahhh!"

L'hysterie met the crowd of people who were going to the other wing while she was carrying a stack of clothes from the laundry.

"Sumimasen, minna-san. I'm so late... I had no idea which kind of clothes Chikyuu-san likes so I had to gather the stuff from all oer the place. Let's go."

and on they go to the other wing.

[End of scene 23]

[Scene 24]

Touya watched Nakuru carry Chikyuu with ease. 'How can she do that? Even _I_ can't carry her! Weird!'

"What's wrong To-ya?"

"Uh.. Nothing."

"K!! Hey L'hysterie, can I see those clothes? I would also like to change out of my uniform. It's very cute, but I get tired of it after a while."

Touya watched Nakuru carry Chikyuu with ease. 'How can she do that? Even _I_ can't carry her! Weird!'

"What's wrong To-ya?"

"Uh.. Nothing."

"K!! Hey L'hysterie, can I see those clothes? I would also like to change out of my uniform. It's very cute, but I get tired of it after a while."

"Oh guys, here's four matrass," said Yin Yue.

"So Spinel-san, Nakuru-san, Touya-san and Chikyuu-san is sharing a room together?? Or is Rilla-san taking the fourth bed??" L'hysterie asked.

"Yes!!!" cried Nakuru while eyeing Touya.

"No!! Please No!!" yelled Touya. "I'll do anything. Just don't make me have to share a room with that thing!"

Nakuru's gaze dropped into downright horror. "How did you know?!"

Touya gave her a questioning look, "What are ytou talking about?"

"How did you know I'm not human?!"

"WHAT????"

"You mean you didn't know?" Nakuru said with a small voice.

"WHAT????"

Nakuru looked around at everyone else. They were walking as if they weren't surprised to find out that she wasn't human. "Are you guys surprised?"

Yin Yue shook, "nope, that's the reason we invite you."

"Wait! I won't be staying here!" Rilla said to L'hysterie, "I have mmy own place to stay in. So sorry to make you drag out that mattress. I will be sleeping at my apartment..."

Yin Yue blocked Rilla's way, "gomen nasai, Subaru-kun asked everyone to stay here, including you Rilla-chan. It's for a safety reason. If you respect him, please stay in one of the rooms in this this level. We provide rooms -share-or-not for out guesses."

"But Miss..." Rilla said...

"Then, Yin Yue-san, I'll open up the rooms next door. Hmm.. let's see," L'hysterie counted the heads in the bedroom while speaking, "one for Touya-san, one for Nakuru-san and Spinel-san, one for Rilla-san, Chikyuu-san can stay..." Satisfied, L'hysterie goes out to unlock 3 doors leading to 3 guestrooms. Before she went, she left a small pile of clothes on the bedside table for Chikyuu in the morning when she wakes.

Kamui broke in, "Ehmm...can i talk to Rilla for a minute? And don't give me that -you are
a piece of trash- look. It's important."

"All right." Rilla said, "What is it? Don't waste my time."

[End Scene 24]

[Scene 25]

After an hour talking with Kamui and discover a few things...

Rilla smiled, "Well. I think I'll go back to my apartment now..." she thought. She pasted a note (written all in chinese) on Subaru's door.

"Subaru, dui bu qi (Sorry). Wo xiang jia (I was thinking of my house), suo yi (So), hui le (I've gone back). Qing ni bu yong dan xin (Please do not worry about me). Wo shi bu ke yi gen bie ren zhu de, bi jiao xi huan du zi zhu de (I do not feel comfortable staying with anyone else but myself). Ming tian zao shang qi dian ban jian mian (Will be back at 7.30 AM). Xie xie (Thank you). Li Jing Mei."

Rilla then crept out, in wolf form and opened the door, beofre leaving to sleep in her "apartment"

[End of Scene 25]

[scene 26]

_Nice_ Kujaku already moved all of the matresses to separate rooms. With a I'm-going-to-kill-you-rie-chan look on his face though. But he did not dare to do anything since he knows Rie-chan will have someway to stop him. She always does.

L'hysterie comes in and tells the guests the rooms are ready. They all go into their individual rooms except Suppi-chan and Nakuru who are sharing a room, and Rilla who went out with Kamui.

After a "Oyasuminasai, minna-san!", L'hysterie and Kujaku leaves the wing for their own rooms. Right after they went out of the door, Kujaku turns back into a raven and flew with extreme speed to his bed. He was very tired indeed. Kujaku plans to make fun of L'hysterie tomorrow. But according to the Kujaku's Book of Rules, you have to forget things overnight. ^_^ And he did...

L'hysterie walked very slowly compared to Kujaku. After some 15 minutes, she stood outside of the main wing. (where the dining room is etc.) Gaining a little bit of speed, she walked into the washroom and changed into her PJ's. (pink with little bunnies all over it; totemo kawaii ne~~) With bunny slippers on her feet, she walks to Kakyou's room.

Quietly opening the sqeaky door, she slipped in in case Kakyou's asleep. L'hysterie, being a good-natured stepdaughter, didn't want to interrupt her stepfather.
"Tap, tap, tap" went the computer. With a soft beep, a silver door is revealed then opens to allow entry to Kakyou's room. L'hysterie steps through the door, the slippers muffling the sounds of her footsteps. Quietly again, she climbs into her own little bed, 20inches away from Kakyou's, and doze off. Kakyou opened an eye open, his beautiful golden eyelashes flapped against his perfect face. Seeing his _daughter_ save by his bedside, he slept and went back to his own little dreamy paradise with fountains and flowers.

So, that's about it for the small little family. How about the poor raven? You might have thought he has slept but a loud GRRROWWWL came from his empty stomach. He had only eaten a dish of black-peppered chicken and 2 bowls of rice compared to the 2 main courses and many deserts and appetizers. So, wearing his own little turtle slippers, he rolled out of the comforts of his bed and goes to the kitchen for his midnite snack. (usually a chocolat donut or two) While preparing the snack, he wonders about what all the other guests are doing... 'specially about the maroon-haired Chikyuu...

Chikyuu skipped down the long hallway and arrived at the kitchen. Her stomach growled again. "Yeesh, guess I'm really hungry! Oh yeah, I was knocked out that whole time! Stupid Nakuru! But she is a sweetie when she's not around To-ya...er Touya. EH?" She had heard a little 'thanks' in the kitchen area, so she went in to see who or what it was.

As she walked in she saw the guy named Kujaku eating or making a donut, she couldn't figure out which. "Uh, hey there. Kujaku... it's nice to see you. I, uh, guess. Soooo, whatcha doin'?

"Donut?" She looked at the donut and a big smile krept upon her face. "Sure!! I love sweets, well they're not exactly my favorite, but I can't say no to them!!" Suddenly a spaced out look came upon her face as she asked, "I wonder if Nakuru would like one? I don't think she ate at all today. How odd! How many do we have?"

Arrgh... all Chikyuu thinks about is Nakuru... What about me? Kujaku thought. "As many as you want!!" Kujaku said while trying to smile. "Or if you don't want donuts, I have other stuff too... They are all sweets..."

Then he walked over to a cupboard which has a sign saying, "This is KUJAKU's STUFF!! Don't you touch!!" The sign was very colourful, with pictures drawn everywhere. He fished for the key to open the cupboard in his pocket.

"Voila! Here's the key!" *the key is inserted through the keyhole, making a 'ka-lak' sound* A shrill click sound tells Kujaku he has past the first security thing. There was one more to go, which is one of those things you put your hand on and it'll check if you fit the identification. (btw, Kujaku built this thing, afterall he is the computer technician around the lab)  Beep! The pad gave a signal and Poof!, the door opened by itself... The cupboard is just amazing. There were candycanes, gingerbread, fuzzy peaches, lollipops, Chupa Chups, gummy bears, worms, other gummies, cookie jars filled with cookies of every kind, Crunch,  other chocolates etc. etc. etc. Kujaku smiles proudly at his collection,they seems to gleam in the dark room...

"What do you want? I have everything" Kujaku asked Chikyuu, still smiling.

Chikyuu, sweatdropped at all the sugary sweets in the cupboard. She gave him a sweet smile and said, "Hmmm... I take a little bit of everything AND leftovers from last nights dinner. I heard the Rilla girl made a really good meal! Anyway I'm famished!! Oh, can you get the sweets for me? I'll get the dinner ready. Do you want some?"

Yoshi! Dinner cooked by Chikyuu... Though it's leftovers an you only have to press buttons on the microwave but I feel so fantastic, Kujaku thought. "Yeah, Chikyuu, I'll get the sweets. Oh, and, the microwave is over there," Kujaku pointed in the direction where the microwave is.

And he happily gathered all the candies from his cupboard, even his special Doraemon bun (what do you call those in Japanese, forgot >_<) given to him by Doraemon a long time ago.

With his hands filled with international sweets, he unloaded them on the kitchen table. For romantic reasons or the lighting is not enough, he lit two white candles and placed them in the center of the table. Then he just sat at his end of the table, stared at Chikyuu working with admiring eyes.

Chikyuu put on an aprons that she saw on a chair. She then cracked her knuckles together and started getting the food ready. As she was waiting for the food to warm up she saw that Kujaku was staring at her. She blushed slightly and turned to take the warmed up food to the table.

"So, Kujaku. Uh, how long have you been here?" Just then she remembered something. "Kyaaa!! I forgot about Nakuru! Oooh, she's either waiting for me or off to see Touya. I can never figure her out!" She then turned to Kujaku and smiled. "But I AM hungry... Fine I'll stay."

She sat down across from Kujaku and smiled again. '...I just hope Spinel keeps Nakuru tamed...'

[End of Scene 26]

[Scene 27]

Nakuru was bored. She sat and watched Spinel read for what seemed like hours. 'What's taking Chikyuu so long? Argh! Hurry up!'

"Hey Suppi?"

"What?"

"I'm going for a walk."

"Fine."

"BYE!!"

Nakuru smiled as she closed the door to her room. Then she stopped and thought of where wanted to go. 'Hmm... I could visit To-ya or maybe that Subbi-chan... Or how about both!!' Nakuru skipped down the hallway as she looked for Subaru's room. And the only way she could find it was to open each door and see who was inside.

*Time passes*

After about 20 or so doors, Nakuru came to the last one on that floor. 'It's just gotta be his!' She went inside hoping to find the man, but her luck ran short. "Argh!! WHERE IS HE?" she shook her head and went out of the room. A cheerful, but cunning smile grew on her face. 'At least there's To-ya!!'
 
[This is the time where Nakuru goes and tortures Touya. Time passes and screams of 'What the @#^%!! What are you doing here? And so on go on for this period of time. Soon Nakuru gets bored (is that possible?) and goes looking for Subaru again.]
 
Nakuru sighed a she roam the hallways. 'Someone has to be awake!!'

She opened it to find the man sleeping. (What else did you expect? I'm not in a creative mood at the moment!^^) 'Oh poo! Guess I'll just have to wake him up!' She went over to his bedside and put her mouth
next to his ear and said, "SUBBI-CHAN, WAKE UP!!!!!"

'Hehe! That has to work!'

Subaru woke up from his dream full of sakura maboroshi, need a few minutes to gather him self and figure where he is. "oh you're ehm...Nakuru-san right? What's wrong? It's 3 am in the morning."

"Hi Subbi-chan!! I'm just really, really, really bored. I left Touya alone, cause I already played with him. And uh... well let's just say I'm bored!"

Subaru sweatdropped, "oh...uhm....I don't know what can entertain you, maybe you have any idea, miss?"

Nakuru whispered something.

Subaru's face turned beat red, "hahaha." He sweatdropped again, "Maybe not that, gomen nasai. How 'bout play station instead?" Sugested Subaru.

[Scene 28]

Rilla=" zzzzzzz"

*knock on the door (? is there any door?)*

Rilla: Zzzzzzzzzz

*Knocks louder*

Rilla: Zzzzzz...

(Rilla opens one sleepy eye)

Rilla: Whosh out there?

Hearing someone's actually answering his knocking, "It's me, Kamui, " said the purple eyes.

Rilla: Qing Deng yi Shia (Please wait a second. Said with a weird and drunken twist)

"Hai," anwered Kamui.

(Rilla shoves the rock, hard. She looks like a ghoul in the early morning)

Rilla: Shemme ah? (Whatdya want? Said with a lot of disrespect. I would say something like that too.)

"I forgot to give you this letter."

Rilla: Letter?

(Rilla looks at the letter)

Rilla: I can't read Japanese, you know that.

"Fine, I'll read it for ya," said Kamui. "Uhm but can I go in?"

Rilla: I guesh you may. Sit down. Sorry I have no furniture. you'll have to sit on the mats. (Rilla gestures at animal skins all over the floor)

"Thanks." Kamui sat dorn on the Tiger skin tentatively.

Rilla: Not that one. This one! (Rilla points at a deer skin) Rilla: That one isn't fully dried.

"eeepppp." Kamui quickly stood up and sat on the skin Rilla'd pointed.

Rilla: You;ve ruined it. I was planning to dry it and make it into a fine mat but oh well.... At least I still have battle scars... (Shows her arm with 5 deep red marks)

"Gomen ne. For everything."

rilla: Everything is fine. have some food.

(Rilla passes him a bowl of some fragrant Chinese stuff. Namely, Almond cookies)

"Arigato gozaimasu." Kamui took one cookie and stared it joke-suspicious, "it's not poison right?" said Kamui with joking tone.

Rilla: *AHEM* I would not lower myself to do that. You KNOW that. (Glares at Kamui and looks REALLY REALLY offended)

"Sorrryyy, I don't mean to say that. But you look so tense all day."

Rilla: Well. Tense is one thing. But WAKING ME UP AT FOUR O' CLOCK IN THE MORNING IS ANOTHER!!!!!!

"I though you won't sleel, since it's moonlight magic tonight," state Kamui. "it's a witching hour with mostly us, the magic creatures _play_ with sorcery."

Rilla: You forget that I no longer dabble with this sort of tradition. (Argh! I'm turning into a vulcan!)

"So I did forgot." kamui grins, "We mostly don't sleep at the lab this night *snikers*."

Rilla: Please do not bore me!

"But I'm not. Anyway, about the letter..." Kamui's word trailed off...

rilla: GET ON WITH IT OR I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!

Kamui sweatdropped, "okay okay...*ahem*

[begin reading the letter which is written in red paint]

Dear Rilla and Kamui

It's been a few years since I left you. For that I'm extremly sorry. It's the order of the elders and I can't do anything about it.

Rilla: Left who?

Kamui paused reading, "Either you or me or both."

Rilla: ha ha ha. GET ON WITH IT! I WANT TO GET BACK TO SLEEP!

(Rilla pushes rock back in place)

(eeep, and how can I get out?)

[Letter, this part was in Blue paint]

Because you (Kamui) and you (Rilla) have the highest _ki_ in both of our clan, the Dark and the Light. If you don't work together, the enemy will destroy our clan.

Rilla: that's rich. Is this a trick on your side to get me to support you?

Kamui shrugh, "I don't know. I just recieve this letter, and there's no address. And then I asked my mom and my my clan's net about it, but they said they never send me letter for the pass 2 weeks."

Rilla: GET ON WITH IT THEN!

Kamui continued reading.

[Letter, still in blue paint]

It's concerning about the end of the world.

For the safety of other creatures, please find Moon child and Infinity child. They will guide you for the sake of others.

-sign
X Mistresses

Rilla: That's a laugh. Who does she think she is? Joan of Arc?

Kamui just shrug. "I don't know. But it's worth of notice. Since I heard a report from the wired, many magical creatures were slauttered cruely with un-known reason."

Rilla: Anyway, what's the big idea waking me up to tell me THAT? It's probably someone who's trying to scare us.

"Because the news just same 30 mins before I came here. It's a magical night you know. Who know's the rumors are true about the killing."

Rilla: Quit worrying and get some sleep. Really, you should know that I am NOT the leader of the light clan. you KNOW that the Light clan dosen't QUITE exist anymore. I know the Dark clan still has heaquarters and a family.

"Heyyyy, I'm worried okay? Besides, I need your help to find this Moon child and Infinity Child."

Rilla: Likely they don't exist. Goodnight.

*Rilla enters another part of the cave and starts to make her ben nicely*

Kamui just sit there. "oh well, thought i have to search for them my self. "He sighed.

Rilla: Zzzzzzzzz

(Kamui then realises that he can't leave Rilla's cave because the rock is there and only she can remove it with brute strength)

Kamui sweatdropped again, "and how can I get out from here?" A light bulp appeared, "I know, heh hehehe *snikers* It's a good thing I always prepare for _this_. I'm going to thanks Yue-chan later." Kamui pulled out a magic staff and chant spells. In a blink of an eye. He's already outside.

Rilla: zzzzzzz..

*6AM in the morning*

Rilla: ARGH! I OVERSLEPT!!!!

*Rilla shoves the boulder*

Rilla: How am I supposed to harvest all the plants by this morning?!

Kamui arrived at the lab and went in to the kitchen, he found Kujaku and Chikyuu were munching some food. "Waiii can I have some?" asked Kamui, pleading.

[End of scene 28]

[Scene 29]

*7.30 AM* *Rilla rings the doorbell, her hair is in a mess and she looks awful...*

Rilla: I (pant,pant) sorry I late (pant) *Rilla strides up to Kamui and yells in his face*

Rilla: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! (Points at a basket under her arm)

Rilla: I OVERSLEPT BECAUSE OF SOME IDIOTIC PERSON WHO WOKE ME UP AT 4AM IN THE MORNING TO TALK RUBBISH AND THEN LOOK AT THIS! (Gesures at basket)

"what's that?"

Rilla: WHAT'S THAT? WHAT'S THAT? THAT IS WHAT IS LEFT OF MY NOW DEAD GOLDEN THREAD PLANTS! ALL THE CAREFUL TENDING AND WEEDING AND PLANTING AND LOOK AT THEM! THEY'RE DRIED UP! THEY DIED BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET UP IN THE MORNING TO HARVEST THEM! AND YOU KNOW HOW EARLY I USUALLY GET UP IN THE MORNING!

Kamui sweatdropped (ain't he did that damn to many for this fic?)

Rilla: NOW LOOK AT THEM? I ASK YOU LOOK AT THEM! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THEM! WHEN THEY DRY LIKE THIS THEY HAVE NO MEDICINIAL VALUE ANYMORE! ARRRRRRRRGH! *Rilla wants to punch Kamui but can't*

Sherry pop-ed in, "Maybe I can help you with those." She took it and went outside.

Rilla sniffeled and looked miserable, glaring at Kamui, "Just GUESS how long it took me to plant them."

[End of Scene 29]

[Scene 30]

Nakuru got her cutesie face on and asked, "What's that? I've never heard of it before?"

"It's an electronic game," answered Subaru.

--(Camera zoom to the kitchen)--

"You want some, eh?" Kujaku glances at Chikyuu asking for a decision. Chikyuu nods so Kujaku casually said, "Sure." As he spoke, he carefully sweeps up all the candy left on the table except Chikyuu's multicolor gigantuan lollipop. He then dumps all the stuff at his cupboard and locked it with a crisp click.

He returns to found his seat taken by Kamui the Food Terminator. That was just the perfect excuse for Kujaku to sit closer to Chikyuu. They started exchanging looks, like two beautiful lovebirds.

--- (the camera zooms out and into another spot, Kakyou's room) ---

"Waii! So late already!!" L'hysterie was frantic, like what she was named after (hysteria). She had to go cook breakfast at 5:30am in which in reality it's already 6:30am. Yesterday's events have exhausted her
from her usual calmness and carefulness. Kakyou is as still as the statue of liberty, propped up very comfortably on some fluffy pillows, staring at L'hysterie as she fumbles around the room.

With speed, L'hysterie brushes her teeth, washes her face, changes, made her bed, slipped on her bunny slippers and prepares to leave, all done in 10 mins. As she turns on the platinum doorknob of the silver door to outside, Kakyou spoke, "No rush, child. Didn't you forget something??"

"?? Oh! Gomene Momo-chan!" L'hysterie picks up her stuffed kitty cat and prepares to leave again. She still have her childish side aside from her coldness towards visitors.

"Child..."

"??"

*Kakyou frowns* "Think again, child. Didn't you forget _something_??"

"Hmm... I've got Momo-chan, I've got changed... what else?" She looks at Kakyou. "Gomenasai, Chichi! (right katakana? i'm failing japanese)" And she lightly kisses Kakyou's cheeks. (one of those father & daughter butterfly kisses they tell you in those kids' novels)

*Kakyou smiles* "Run along now. Have a nice day!"

L'hysterie runs out and passes Subaru's room. The TV was flashing and the TV screen had 'Final Fantasy 6' in big letters on it. A male voice was explaining something.

"You see... I've try to beat this boss, Kefka, several times and failed. *snickers from somebody* So just watch and learn. You'll find this series very fun to play. I have Anthropology, FF5, 6,7 & 8..." was
all L'hysterie heard. It sounds so familiar to the game that Kujaku had just finished and told L'hysterie all about it. She couldn't help but knock on the door. She also said,

"Subaru-san, are you in there? Could I help with anything? Kujaku told me all about it..."

Subaru glanced to the owner of the voice, "Ohayou Rie-san. Arigatou gozaimasu, but I won't need anything just now." He smiled and looked at the clock. "Oh look at the time. We should go for breakfast, ne? Let's go."

Nakuru dreamily at Subaru and joined him as he walked out of the room. 'Even though we didn't get to play the game, I'll at least sit by him.' Nakuru thought with a huge grin on her face.

[End of scene 30]

[Scene 31]

"Ohayou everyone," said Subaru.

Chikyuu was the first to glance up at the three people walking in the dining room. "Ohayo, Subaru, Rie, and ...Nakuru!!"Chikyuu jumped out of her chair and ran to the very genki girl. Chikyuu threw her arms around Nakuru and cried, "Gomen, I can't believe I forgot you! I feel awful! Gomen nasai!!"

Nakuru just stood there stricken. "Uh, Chikyuu. I'm fine. It's alright. Really." Nakuru took Chikyuu by the arm and handed her over to Kujaku. (Who was probably miffed at Nakuru) "I think she's yours, ne?" Nakuru gave a big grin and ran back to Subaru.

"Ahhh... what the fudge??!" (i just have to say this famous chef from south park phrase; sorry) Kujaku said as he hold Chikyuu by the hand. Slightly embarassed because it's the 1st time he's ever held a girl he liked & liked him back's hand, he spoke,

"Minna, I'm pretty full. (from the midnite snack ^o^) Hey Chikyuu, you wanna join me for a walk outside in the Japanese garden?" Then, Kujaku gave Chikyuu a playful wink that look like this: ^_~

"Sure! That would be fun!" Chikyuu jumped up (Or really just staightened out) and held out her hand. She had a very cute grin on her face. "Let's go!^^"

After Rilla finished yelling at Kamui, she went to Subaru, "I'm here and on time as promised."

Kujaku grabbed the hand and off he ran. To the Japanese garden.

[End of scene 31]

[scene 32]

For pretty much of the way, the pair walked in silence. Not those uncomfortable ones. The peace and quietness is quite suitable. A few words had been spoken. Things like "Don't you love this place?" or "Look at that tree!" or "Hey that birdie is so cute!~ ^^" etc. etc. etc. Nothing really on any specific topics.

Kujaku wishes something that would change the mood to happen. Kami-sama seems to be with him these days. His wish was granted like before. An idea popped out of his head. As they walked out of the Japanese garden, Kujaku led Chikyuu by the hand to the maple trees. (Kujaku has been holding Chikyuu's hand all through the walk.. awww)

"Hey Chikyuu... Chikyuu-chan," Kujaku called to the girl of his dreams adding an unusal "chan" after it. "Do you want some more food? (probably not, thier snack was HUGE) I know a 'mother nature' way to make another sweet treat."

Chikyuu looked at Kujaku with a questioned look. "Food? Uh... maybe something small. I am kinda full." She gave him another smile and kneeled to the ground. (never letting go of his hand.) She then yawned slightly and blushed. "I guess I'm a little tired. Hmm... you know what? This reminds me of a friend I knew before I transferred to Seijuu High. He was really sweet, like you. I miss him tough..."

What kind of friend does she mean?? A ...friend?? Oh my gosh I need to think... And S-W-E-E-T? Will he be my enemy?? A bunch of similar questions floated in Kujaku's head. Hmmm... let's ask Chikyuu.

"Ermm... Chikyuu-chan, what's his name? I mean the friend..."

" Ah, his name was Mairin Tangun. And transferred to my school about a week before I left. I'm not totally sure, but I think he may be dead now. Tan-kun said, 'If you leave, I may not be able to live. I may have to go and kill myself.' I first thought it was joke, but when I saw the seriousness in his eyes. My heart went dead." Chikyuu started to feel tears roll down her cheeks. "I just hope he's still alive. I couldn't live with myself if he died."

Chikyuu wiped her eyes and snapped beck to reality. "Gomen, I was rambling. And all you wanted to know was his name..." then she broke out in tears.

Ah, dang it! What the hell did I think I was doing asking a girl about her past! Where are my manners? Kujaku thought. Argh.

Chibi Devil Kujaku suddenly speaks in Kujaku's mind. "Like you had any, bud."

Chibi Angel Kujaku with little white wings appears and speaks too. Come on, give some positive encouragement!"

"Hey, I ain't no goody-goody like U R, sis," C.D. Kujaku retorted.

"I'm not a girl, I'm you-know-what, you... Oh, I give up. I can't swear. According to the Ten Commandments..."

"Shut up with all that."

"GUYS! I thought you are s'ppose to help ME. Not to argue in ME," Kujaku breaks it all up.

"What'd you expect? We are your conscience. You thought us up," Sticking his tongue out at Kujaku, C.D. Kujaku left in a puff of mist.

"Sorry... sorry we weren't of any help," C.A. Kujaku apologized, "one last tip. Comfort is a great apology," with that, the angel disappeared behind the devil.

In reality, this thinking inside Kujaku's head only happened in a matter of a few seconds. Immediately, Kujaku took out a hankie with a Mokona design on it and starts to wipe tears off Chikyuu's face.

[End of scene 32]

[Scene 33]

Sherry-chan was wistling her way to the garden, watching the two loverbirds but not putting any interest on whatsoever.

"Hi ya, it's almost tea time, want to go in?" asked the cheerful girl to Kamui, who was lying on one of the branch tree.

"I'll be right there," he mumbled, half asleep.

"Okie dokie."

And Kamui was back to sleep.

She skipped her way to Kakyou's chamber.

"Hi Kakyou-san," she gave him a ^^ eyes. "It's tea time."

"Sherry-san is it? I'll be right there with Rie..."

Rilla arrived just in time for tea.  She took a look around and smiled cheerfully, "Hello!  I brought ju hua cha (Chrysanthemum tea)  I hope you all like."

"Waiiiiii, arigato Rilla-chaaaan!!!" said Sherry, "I was going to make Earl Grey tea, but I wanna try the ju hua-whatever- tea you have there."

Subaru came in, "kakyou, did you see Kamui?"

"Kamui is in the garden, Subaru-kun!" and she glomped on him.

"Aaaaaaa, She-chan, /please/."

"Aw, okay."

"Sherry-san, Sherry-san!" Rie waved to Sherry. "Yoohoo! I brought snacks. I hope you like these," she handed Sherry a package of Chinese almond cookies.

Rilla smiled as she looked at the almond cookies.  She couldn't resist drooling as she eyed the snacks in Sherry's hand.  It had been a long long
time since she last tasted the sweetness of a good almond cookie.

"Speaking of which, where's everybody?" asked Subaru.

"We're right here!!" shouted Hikaru, Eagle and Zagard standing behind her, "Sorry but I couldn't drag Nataku along with us"

"You know how he is, please don't be offended with his attitude," said Eagle.

Subaru smiled, "It's okay. Now we can have some tea, and if you're willing i want to do a little experiment on your behaviours, if you don't mind of course."

"Who? Me?" panicked Hikaru with her face blushing.

"You want to do an experiment on Hikaru?" asked Eagle, "Now, now Hikaru-chan, I'm sure it'll be okay."

"Oh, no," said Hikaru,"I'm not worried about that, it's just ... I mean, I'm just ..."

"I know, " Eagle said, then turning to Subaru, "We don't mind Subaru-san."

Subaru *sweatdrops*, "actually, since almost all of you can change-shaped, if you don't mind, I want to look your transform, some of you /may/ still have your cloths on, like she-chan here."

Sherry smiled and nodded happily.

"Some of you /may/ not have you cloths on, soooo, i just create a tight suit that may help you with /that/ problem," continued Subaru. "I tested on Kamui, and it works just fine."

"uh .." Hikaru stammered.

"I'm not doing it," said Zagard.

"Well ...," Eagle sighed,"I guess.... it's okay ... anything for you Subaru-san."

"Oh, then .. I'll help you too, Subaru-sama!" said Hikaru finally.

Rilla stopped drooling over the cookies and composed herself, "Subaru xian shen, you not give me job yet.  I want know why.  You not yet read my resume?  Have you employ me yet?"

She stared pointedly at Subaru, waiting for an answer, her arms folded confidently across her chest.

Subaru turned to Rilla, "Ah yes, uhm, you can assist me re-forming the suits, can you? I might need some help since the suit only last for a month or so."

Rilla sweatdripped, it wasn't exactly the job she was hoping for... but... she opened her mouth to say something, then closed it.

"I'm a botanist, a herbalist... not a seamstress..." she thought to herself in Chinese...

"Well.  I not know what you mean." she said confused, "You want me to sew? Or make different material?  This type suit...  I think...  Tiger silk?"

"Not sewing, but making a formula for the suit," said Subaru.

Rilla frowned and then thought really hard, "Material must be light?  What?  Hmmmm..."

"Hmmmmmm....."  she frown deepened and she wrung her hands irritatedly. "Maybe I use mian hua (cotton) mix with si (silk)?  He de yu mao (crane feathers)?  Hu mao (Tiger fur)? Too many ways to make.  need to know the EXACT type material wanted.  Light?  Soft? Stretch good?"

She then proceeded to bombard Subaru with an incredible number of questions (Soft?  Downy?  Stick to skin?  Huh?  What?  How much?  how long? What property?) and also with cups of ju hua cha (Drink more!  It good for body!).

Subaru replay most of it, and he said, "I you have time I can show you the fabric I'm developing, maybe you can give me some sugestions,  plus, I have to look on their tranformation first, it seems that the fabric is specificaly for the user only.

L'hysterie interrupted in the middle of their conversation by handing Rilla and Subaru each a cookie, one in her mouth also, said, no actually it was more like a mumble, "Suubaru-san.. *munch munch* Do yu wan *munch* me tuu bing yu the tokumenths *crunch* an neshurshareri itums *crunch crunch* tuu yur ofusu?"

"Manners, Rie..." Kakyou said, sipping the tea Rilla brought.

"Goomun..." L'hysterie finished terminating the cookie and wiping her mouth with her hankie. "I meant to say, 'Subaru-san, do you want me to bring the documents and necessary items to your office?' ^^"

*Sweatdropped* "Ye..s, arigato Rie-chan," smiled Subaru.

"Let me help ya...." offered She-chan, "Wanna help, Rilla-chan?" Sherry's eyes were twingkling in delight.

"Just meet me in the Lab.," said Subaru then he turned to Kakyou, "If you don't mind, can you help me set up the network?"

"Kakyou-san?" asked SUbaru again," oh my, he's asleep again, kakyou-san, kakyou-san?"

"Mmmm....," Kakyou rubbed his eyes and opened them ever so slowly, spoke sleepily, "Nan deshoo, Subaru-san?"

"You awake! Good, can you help me?" said Subaru. "Thanks" as he handded some heavy materials to Kakyou.

[End of scene 33]

[Scene 34]

Nakuru was B-O-R-E-D. Bored. Touya was somewhere unknown.  And Suppi was still in that *boring* library. Chikyuu... was probably off enjoying herself in some god-like wonderworld.  Was life really this dull?

After wandering around the huge building she came across a door with the words <Lepidoptera> imprinted on it.  "Lepi...wha?" Curiosity came over the bubbly girl and she decided to go in the lepi-room.

A sweet aroma filled the air as her head poked in the crack. Colors of all kinds filled the room. "It's an arboretum full of butterflies!" squealed Nakuru. She ran in the room and danced around the place causing the butterflies to move around in a extravagant cloud of color.

Unbeknownst to her, a young man with grey eyes watched from a corner. Then dissapeared is a grey haze.

"Huh? wha?" Nakuru glanced around the room. Her sixth sense was telling her something. "Oh, well. ???" Nakuru's eyes came across a bright shiny green button. Temptation set in Nakuru's brain. "Life is just too good!" 

The alarm went of without a hitch... and surprised everyone else in the place half to death.

"Hmm? What was THAT?" Kujaku screamed in the kitchen. Checking his mini computer which takes form of a watch or anything Kujaku wishes, he yelled again, "OH MY GOD! I bet it's stupid Nakuru."

A sneeze could be heard from the stereo of the mini-computer which currently shows the room Nakuru's in.

"Ah, sheesh. Minna, wanna check it out? Accordin' to my lil' com here, it says the alarm came from the..." Kujaku struggled with the words, "RE-PI-DO-PU-TE-RA," he reads the katakana on his screen, "... um... that's probably the... gosh... it can't be..."

Chikyuu looked over at a seemingly disturbed Kujaku and asked, "What's wrong?" She looked over his shoulder and saw Nakuru jumping gleefully around a butterfly filled room. "Eh? Nakuru-chan?"

Rilla was on her way to the library having left the people outside to enjoy tea by themselves.

"I'm sure I left those scrolls of plants in the library..." she thought to herself.

She reached the library in good time, passing by the butterfly room.  Then she stopped and looked into the butterfly room.

"Zhen xiang xiao hai zi.  (Really acting childish)" was her only comment.

"Chikyuu-chan, no time to waste explaining! With Subaru and Kakyou off to the lab testing, it's up to us! Let's go!"

And off Kujaku went again, with a pretty reluctant Chikyuu desperately trying to catch up to his speed. To the RE-PI-DO-PU-TE-RA room we go!

[Scene 35]

Seishirou took a drag, he was a heavy smoker, he knew that's bad habit, but who cares, certaintly not Subaru. Where the heck was that boy? He grew tired on killing useless people, he wanted to play with his darling Subaru. Well that have to wait. He sighed.

He went down the street. Then realize there was someone following him. Seishirou chukled under his breath. Interesting, the former seer of Dragons of Earth and someone he couldn't recognize.

Seishirou turned around, "Kanoe what a surprise, where have you been all these years?"

"And who is this?" said Sei-chan to the other tall man with long silver hair and golden eyes (er, I forgot what colour of Taishakuten's eyes).
